some monarchs at last

Toronto, 2014.09.14

My son and I must have seen a dozen monarch butterflies in the city today as we rode "Bells on Danforth". That's a pro-cycling-safety ride, unlike the other 364 days in the year.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. The cycle event had great turnout and Ken reported that he had fun.
  2. It was cool and cloudy and rain clouds threatened, but we avoided actual rain
  3. I've rescheduled the hang-gliding tandem for next week; not next year as I'd feared

...and when you try to get some, it surely can be hard. There's always trouble waiting, when you leave your own back yard.
